Forets de chênes - Tonnellerie Marsannay

A choice of grain and origins given pride of place in a dedicated Burgundy woodyard.

A choice of grain and origins given pride of place in a dedicated Burgundy woodyard. Tonnellerie Marsannay pays particular attention to the selection of its wood. Our forestry experts travel extensively throughout the forests seeking out the most beautiful specimens. The origin of French oak, coming from the most magnificent forests, is guaranteed: Allier, Tronçais, Centre, Nevers and Vosges are the finest. Thus, with its Burgundy knowhow, Tonnellerie Marsannay puts particular emphasis on keeping perfect control over the whole process, from the forest right up to delivery in the wood yard. It distinguishes itself through its fifty years experience with working with the forest with the support of a family who has constantly controlled its wood supply. The climate of the terroir can also play a fundamental role in the maturing of the wood in the open air of the wood yard.
